Although Charlie Wade may not have a deep understanding of tea, he is well aware of Lin Wan’er (ni)’s unique connection to the mother of Pucha. In his view, the mother of Pucha represents a spiritual foundation for Lin Wan’er (ni)—one that has endured for three centuries. This realization helps himprehend her desire to one day replicate the taste of the mother of Pucha.
He suggested to Lin Wan’er (ni), “Once the handover of Eng Mountain is finalized, you can use this location as your cultivation base and apply your knowledge to see if you can develop better tea varieties.” Lin Wan’er (ni) nodded in agreement, responding, “Breeding is quite aplex task. I’m not very knowledgeable about technological breeding, and I fear that artificial breeding might take at least ten years to yield results.”
Charlie Wade reassured her, “That’s alright. Even if you can’t cultivate it, the experience of tasting the mother of Pucha will always linger in your memory, and that’s what matters.” Lin Wan’er (ni) smiled slightly and replied, “You’re absolutely right, my lord.”
As they spoke, Charlie Wade drove back to the Zhicheng Group’s production base at the foot of Eng Mountain. Although the factory was closed for the day, a gentle middle-aged man wearing sses was waiting nervously at the gate. He was the security guard who had just spoken with Charlie Wade.
Seeing the middle-aged man, the security guard asked with curiosity, “Director Wang, who are you waiting for? Is the chairman here for an inspection?” The man, known as Director Wang, was Eric Wang—the person in charge of the processing nt.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
Eric Wang waved his hands dismissively and said, “I’m waiting for two esteemed guests.” He is a trusted confidant of Fadil.
At Zhicheng Group, two key areas of focus are the production of Pu’er tea and its sales. Fadil manages the sales directly, while Eric Wang has always overseen the production side.
A few years ago, in a bid to secure Eric Wang’s loyalty, Fadil had granted him three shares in thepany. Now, with the Banks Group nning to fully acquire Zhicheng Group, not only would Fadil profit, but other equity holders would also have the chance to cash out.
Excitedly, Fadil had informed Eric Wang about the Banks Group’s acquisition over the phone, and Eric Wang was thrilled. Having worked alongside Fadil for many years, he had long awaited the public listing of Zhicheng Group as an opportunity to cash out his shares.
However, multiple failed attempts at going public had been disheartening for Eric Wang. Over the years, he hade to view his three shares as insignificant, especially since without a listing, they were merely a name in the industrial registry.
Yet, Eric Wang remained with thepany because Fadil had treated him well. Although the long-term prospects of the shares seemed grim, Eric Wang was content with the short-term rewards he received in the form of sries and bonuses.
Today, however, when he learned that the Banks Group intended to acquire Zhicheng Group for 700 million, Eric Wang was overwhelmed with excitement. His three shares, based on this acquisition price, would be worth 21 million before tax. After deducting the 20% personal ie tax, he would over 16 million. To put it in perspective, it was as if he had won the lottery four times over—he was on the brink of bing wealthy overnight!
But the excitement didn’tst long. Fadil had informed him that tea experts from the Su Group would be arriving soon, and he emphasized that Eric Wang must treat the Banks Group experts with the utmost respect to ensure there were noints.
Without hesitation, Eric Wang rushed to the factory gate to wait, determined to provide exemry service and attitude to the “experts” from the Banks Group.
